When we rented this movie, my girlfriend and I expected a basic feel-good comedy, nothing great, just easy.
We lived in India for a while, doing research on IT outsourcing. So we decided to rent outsourced. It actually turned out to be a good movie! It managed to capture a lot of things which were so familiar to us, a trip down memory lane, the amazement we felt at being there.
Although the plot is quite predictable, this did not matter much as the beauty is in the details. It has a lot of India, portrays traveling Americans (and we all love those) and even manages to make the entire outsourcing debate insightful without being condescending.
The film left us both with a real smile on our face, something only very few comedies manage to do.
